Every child should read The Secret Garden. It's a great book for kids!
I read this book a long time ago, and whilst i can't remember the details of the story, the deep sense of grief and sadness that pervades this makes me think that this an chillingly important book to read.....<br><br>I especially likes the bit what he aksks for "more".
This is a GREAT Book! The set-up is so real! The Yorkshire is so cool, I don't think I could ever talk like that.
I really LOVED This book as a 6th grader! I usually dont like reading, but this book really showed me that books can very lovely!
the secret garden was a wonderful book and my whole family liked it.
this is a wonderful book in which three children share a delight in watching nature in all its magic, the joy they share in the growth of the plants is mirrored in the increasing strength of the once ailing children. The images of nature that the reader is allowed to encounter through the eyes of the children evokes sentiments of almost pantheistic heights.
How dare you say you hate the Yorkshire dialect? That is so rude of you to say. I don't care if you didn't enjoy it, that is an integral part of an entire people's cultural heritage that you are putting down. Rude rude rude . . . If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Geez.<br><br>I love this book, including the Yorkshire dialect it contains (in fact my favorite part), and I would recommend it to anyone. It is such a beautiful story, I can't really understand why anyone would not just love it. I can only think that if you don't love it, you didn't understand it, and that is a great pity.
I thought that The Secret Garden was a pretty good book. The beginning was a little slow at first, but once you got into it, you couldn't stop reading. My favorite character would have to be Dickon. I loved the way he could charm animals and he just sounded like a really cool person to be friends with. But I have a question. What do you think ever happened to Colin in the future? Did he become successful or did he just stay with Mary in the garden for all of his life. I thought that the ending was really good. I always thought that Mr. Craven would be VERY mad with Mary, Colin, and Dickon, but it all turned out the way I wanted it to. Secret Garden was a good book...I'd definitely read it if I was you!
WOW.... I cant say anything better than that this book was sensational! It took me away into another world. A world full of wonder and imagination. I could almost feel and smell the beautiful trees and colorful flowers. Oh, how I would love to take a walk through that garden, forget about everything and just relax by the nice sound of the robin and his friends. Wouldn't that be nice now. overall I would never get tired of this book, and of course I'll read it again.
I think that Mary is really a poor thing... and her ayah shouldn't pamper her so much!!! It's amazing, great, but very sad...
Hey,<br>I didn't like the book the Secret Garden at all. The book was very VERY slow and boring. The book had no action. It should have had a better ending. Peace out!!!:P
While reading the secret garden, I found it intersting. I didnt care for the book at the beginning because there wasn't really anything happening. At the beginning though Mr. Craven is mean to his son Colin. Although at the end it turns out to be a great book! Mr. Craven comes home from his long trip in Europe he meets Colin in the secret garden. While Mr. Craven was gone Colin became better and learned how to walk. I like the part when Mr. Craven comes home and Colinruns to his dad and gives him a big hug!
After reading the book the Secret Garden I have formed an opinion of the writing style and detail in the book, which does not include the actual story, and I have formed an opinion of he actual story. The writing style and detail in which the book describes characters was actually not bad. The author took the whole book to characterize some people. As for my critique of the story, however I did not like it. It was more appealing to girls and even some girls thought it was too girly! Having been written in 1911 makes up for it and because I like the extensive amount of detail.
I did not like this book The Secret Garden because it did not have enough action and excitement like when they just worked in the garden day after day. I also did not like how it took so long for everybody to change attitudes and then all of a sudden Mr. Craven just changed so quickly. I also did not like the ending because I think it left you hanging. I think their could have been another chapter on the end to say what Mr. Craven and Colin did together as father and son and how their relationship changed.
